One of my coolest experiences painting outside from life. This goose was a good model and stood in the same position, except for some head turns, for about 20 minutes. One of my favorite watercolor sketches Iāve done so far. #davisca #watercolorsketch #canadagoose #pleinair #sketchbookpainting #paintingfromlife (at Davis, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-QUETALiU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tcgchiakyvtl
This is my 2nd attempt at a copy in my sketchbook. Original painting is at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, and I went and compared two different times. Overall Iām happy with the outcome but there are some differences, skin tone being the biggest one. I feel that this painting went more smoothly than my previous copy attempt and while in the process of finishing this painting, things started to make more sense to me - I had more clarity and understanding of the process, which has been quite a learning experience. Iām not sure if Iām going to attempt another copy anytime soon but these have been quite helpful for learning to paint portraits so far. #oilstudy #portraitpainting #masterstudy #oilpaintings #crockerart #crockerartmuseum #mastercopy #sketchbookpainting (at Crocker Art Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuhWYqJgHxZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p35t7tcmevrj
Took this master copy as far as I could take it. Quite happy with the result, even though there are differences. But I learned a lot from doing it and comparing it at the museum to the original on 2 separate occasions. Just going to apply what Iāve learned to the next one š #portraitpainting #oilstudy #masterstudy #oilpaintings #mastercopy #crockerartmuseum #davisca (at Crocker Art Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_Z8StgV1o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pigob1vdl49m
Small quick study of eye in my sketchbook this evening. Itās from a painting by Alexander Roslin. Just learning as much as I can and having fun with it. Trying to get used to skin tones and more subtle values. Quite a different world than landscape painting. But a fun challenge. #portraitpainting #eyepainting #oilpainting #oilstudy (at Davis, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpiPY_ADaR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2fqtmj7jsb6p
So I thought I had a pretty good painting until I compared it to the original at the museum haha. Still good for just starting portraits about a month ago and for my first stab at copying a master painting in this method. Iāve already started refining a bit more at home and changing things based on what I saw when I was at the museum comparing this past weekend. Learned so much and it was really such a cool experience to actually see my work next to a museum piece for the first time. Definitely opened my eyes to many things which I will cover in the future. Thereās a few other paintings I want to take a shot at as well so this is only the beginning for my sketchbook and painting journey. Thanks to Cesar Santos @santocesart for sharing this method of painting in a sketchbook and copying paintings at museums. Such a common sense approach which I never thought of. More to come. #portraitpainting #portraitpaintings #sketchbookpainting #mastercopy #masterstudy #oilpaintings (at Crocker Art Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfRaOJADYf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sjmvv9a9fvne
Hereās a detail showing some texture on a recent master copy Iāve been working on. Thought itād be cool to share. (at Davis, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUokgvgZfj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19huh5x8zyycn
I finally realized its time for me to start finishing areas rather than jumping around the entire portrait so I finished the hair tonight. Will probably work my way down the face for the rest. Hopefully finish it this weekend - thereās really only a few more subtle changes to make that will really help to get her likeness and expression just right, thatās my plan anyway. This is a master copy of a painting by Eugene von Blaas for anyone interested. #portraitpainting #oilportrait #mastercopy #masterstudy (at Davis, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtFZMHSgs6_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17rdjwvv84d88
Portraits are definitely the most challenging subject Iāve come across. Iāve painted landscapes for years now with only a few small portrait paintings along the way, and itās a completely different experience all around. The precision needed (especially for the finish Iām working towards achieving) is much more than what is needed for most landscapes Iāve done. I like challenging myself though and I think in the end Iām hopefully growing a lot from pushing myself into these subjects. This particular painting is a master study of a painting in and across online. Currently on the middle stage of this one.

First stage of a master copy Iām working on. Doing a few of these to just figure out the technical aspects of working indirectly and multiple layers. In this early stage, Iāve only used titanium white, raw umber and ivory black. I technically didnāt need raw umber but I like the slight warm brown it makes here. Focus was mostly drawing and values. This has been my least problematic start to a portrait so far. (at Davis, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsw7dvDAfR4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zp886tz6o09j
A few portraits Iāve been working on, all still in progress and at different levels of finish. Experimenting with an indirect method rather than the alla prima Iāve been doing for years. Learning a lot so far. (at Davis, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsrlvgWgXc1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mbdx2lz0r6z7
